I like Duolingo, but does it work?
Does Duolingo work? Why do I like it?
This is NOT sponsored by Duolingo, these are just my thoughts on the app, how I use it (sometimes) and what I think is good and what I feel is not that good. So we see a bit of the pros and cons of Duolingo based on my subjective experience.
Do you think it is possible and effective to learn a language using exclusively Duolingo?
Do you think it can be used as a complement? Is it better for certain languages?
I have used Duolingo for Italian, French, Swedish and a bit of Greek, and have friends who have used it for Spanish and English. In my experience, it is not "equally efficient" for all languages. Have you had a similar experience?
00:00 - My confession
01:02 - A bit of a back up story and the first thing I like
02:04 - Goofy and funny sentences - are they useless?
04:06 - First impression
04:51 - Stories
05:30 - Strikes for consistency
06:42 - What I do not like about Duolingo
08:06 - My experience with Greek
09:00 - Conclusion
Do you like Duolingo? Do you think it is useful? When do you use Duolingo?
